Geodesic domes on the crater’s edge.
“The Highlands reimagines the Ngorongoro experience. Set far away from the busy crater rim on the slopes of the Olmoti volcano, it offers profound isolation and striking, futuristic architecture. This is for the traveler who wants the incredible wildlife of the crater, but refuses to compromise on exclusivity and solitude.”
The eight canvas-and-glass domed suites are a marvel of sustainable design, perfectly suited for the chilly highland nights. Each suite features a wood-burning stove, massive beds, and sweeping views across the Gol Mountains.
Beyond the architecture, the true luxury of The Highlands is access. From here, you can descend into the famous Ngorongoro Crater, or hike the lesser-known Olmoti and Empakaai craters with a private Maasai guide, far from the tourist trail.
